Follow-up Study on Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients Achieving Treatment-free Remission


Sponsor

National Taiwan University Hospital

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Aug 11, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

In recent years, the goal of stopping drug therapy, also known as treatment-free remission (TFR), is emerging as one of the management goals of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) therapy. Because there is no available data on Asian patients with CML undergoing tyrosine kinase inhibitor discontinuation (TKI), the investigators plan to recruit chronic phase CML patients with deep treatment response and good medical compliance in Taiwan to evaluate the feasibility, safety and clinical consequences of TKI discontinuation.


Eligibility

Min Age: 20 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study follows patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) — a type of blood cancer — who have achieved a deep, long-term response to treatment and are attempting to stop their medication (called treatment-free remission). Researchers want to understand what happens to their disease over time after stopping therapy. **You may be eligible if:** - You are 20 or older with chronic phase CML - You have been on imatinib for at least 5 years, or on a second-generation TKI (nilotinib or dasatinib) for at least 4 years continuously - You have achieved a very deep molecular response (undetectable or near-undetectable cancer in the blood) for at least 2 years, confirmed on multiple tests - You have access to a reliable molecular test to monitor your disease **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You have had documented resistance to second-generation TKIs - You have not achieved the required depth of molecular response - You do not have access to the required sensitive monitoring test Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
